Pleasing to the eye

Intercessors Of The Lamb: "So if the choice is something good, really test it. At first glance we may think this is from the Lord, but it may not always be the Lord. Scripture tells us that when Eve saw that fruit, she saw that it was good and pleasing to the eye (Gn 3:6). It may have been good and pleasing to the eye, but it was not the better decision because she was not being led by God. She was in disobedience. So we don't know what is the best, other than the fact that God chose it. Once God shows us His preference, then we know that that is always the better choice...not just a good choice or a good decision, but it's the best one. It's the better part. "

If I could only have full presence of mind when I'm confronted with temptation.
